The Seven Year Itch… Just lately I was involved in a debate on divorce rates. This is a tricky subject because there are no good statistics on the subject. So I use what I call the statistics of my local cluster of AM/RW married couples as an indicator of things. In recapping on my past thread on the same subject, I’m familiar with ~20 AM/RW married couples. There was an infant mortality of one union after about 1years time. All the other marriages went well, or so it seemed, until now. At the 7 years of marriage time frame, a number of couples are experiencing severe problems. Three marriages are going through the process of divorce. One was initiated by the husband on the grounds of infidelity. Poor guy caught his wife promoting casual encounters of a monetary kind on Craig’s List. The other two where by the RW for unspecified reasons, though I have a reason to believe that one is trading up while the other is fleeing a sinking ship. By this count in the small cluster, the divorce rate will jump to 20% by the end of the year. Still, not a bad rate but a significant one… and one that could have been largely avoided if the AM would have adhered to the principles described in this forum at the onset of their first visit. One, avoid returned goods. They never get better the second time around. Also, avoid wallflowers unless you are psych major. To clinch it, avoid young RW that say that they agree with you about not having children… now and will go though an abortion to prove it. If you find that you’re married a RW not heeding all the above… it’s just a matter of time before the second shoe drops. Two, be honest with yourself. If a husband looks like her father, lives in the sticks, refuses to have children and can’t offer much more than what she had in Russia… the equation doesn’t balance unless this a trade-up situation from the get-go. How long would a RW be happy/put-up with life like this? Looks like its seven years. Three, is the issue being the man and bring home the bacon. Many men still define themselves by this. However there are some unavoidable situations where a man fails in this capacity to the point where the family is essentially poverty stricken. A RW can take a lot, however they aren’t fools. At some point they will cut their losses and run, especially if they have children to think of. Statistics are just cold numbers, like hindsight is a cruel teacher that no one wants to be taught by.
